A vibrant and comforting dish that combines sweet pumpkin, ripe tomatoes, and perfectly poached eggs in a rich, spiced sauce.

  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

  • 1 medium pumpkin, peeled and cubed (or 1 can of pumpkin puree)
  • 1 can of crushed tomatoes
  • 4 large farm-fresh eggs
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • Salt to taste
  • Olive oil for sautéing
  • Fresh parsley or cilantro, for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a large, deep skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add diced onions and sauté until translucent. Toss in minced garlic and sauté until fragrant.
  2. Stir in cubed pumpkin and cook for about 5 minutes until slightly tender.
  3. Pour in crushed tomatoes and add salt, cumin, paprika, and chili powder. Stir to combine and simmer for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  5. Garnish with fresh herbs and serve hot with crusty bread.

Notes

Check for seasoning and adjust with salt or olive oil as needed. For firmer eggs, cover and cook for a few more minutes.
